...talked most about the Tift Park swimming pool. It was early summer, hot, and the pool, which the City of Albany was keeping segregated despite court rulings by "selling" to a private party, was a prime symbol of discrimination. Knight wanted to blow it up--white swimmers and all. I argued for demonstrations, saying that these would involve more Negroes than a simple demolition job, and so lead to a longer, wider struggle.

Itinerant bards, telling stories and singing insurance commercials, wander from village to village. Everywhere possible, in signs, posters, newspaper ads and leaflets, appears the company's symbol: a pair of hands shielding the flame of a peasant oil lamp and a sacred quotation in Sanskrit that means "Your welfare is my responsibility...
